Augustas Serapinas is a Lithuanian artist who graduated with a B.F.A. from the Vilnius Academy of Arts in 2013. The artist's practice is invested in recomposing socially engaged spaces to the foreground and problematizing the assumptions that shape them. By inverting the day-to-day functions of objects and spatiality, Serapinas toys with the possibilities of the encounter—of art and the social relations it engenders, as a phenomenon and an opportunity. The artist's work primarily deals with heritage preservation employing a form of appropriation and reuse that affirms cultural traditions as ever evolving.
